There is a certificate for each type of notarial act. Most documents have a preprinted certificate
on the form, or a certificate has been prepared by an attorney. It is not the notary’s function
to determine what type of notarial act is required with regard to a request, but the notary
must know and use the proper certificate for the type of act he or she is requested to perform.
(Sec. 6-103).
Acknowledgment

The taking of an acknowledgment consists of
positively identifying the signer of a document.

The signer need not sign in the notary’s presence but
must personally appear before the notary and state
that the signature on the document is his or hers.

Acknowledgments may be taken in an individual
capacity or in a representative capacity, (as an
authorized representative of another)
For Example:  as officer of a corporation for and on
behalf of the corporation or as an attorney in fact
for another person).

The name of the county where the signer personally
appeared before the notary public should be inserted
on the certificate.

These short form certificates to the right are
sufficient to meet the requirements of the law.

Verification Upon Oath of Affirmation

Sometimes referred to as a “jurat,” verification upon
oath or affirmation is a declaration that a statement is
true and was made by a person upon oath or
affirmation.

The person requesting this notarial act must personally
appear before the notary and sign the document in
the presence of the notary.

The notary public is required to administer an oath.
There are no prescribed words for the oath, but an
acceptable oath would be:

“Do You Swear (Or Affirm) That The Statements
In This Document Are True?”

Verification upon oath may be taken in an individual
capacity or in a representative capacity.

signature-by-mark in addition to yourself;
